What emulator are you using? It seems to work just fine on VBA. Also, is it the first time seeing Dialga, or have you registered it as seen from a previous battle? You can check by looking through the "Rare Pokemon" section in the pokedex, should be right next to Celebi

Question: Is the Feebas you're given supposed to be a Bad Egg? I spent some time trying to hatch it but I'm afraid if I do go through with it, it'll break the game.

It shouldn't be. Thanks for the heads up, looks like I missed a bug fix. If you have a save from before getting the Feebas, I'd suggest waiting for version 1.1.4. Otherwise, just leave the bad egg in the pc

I just tried the Feebas event again and it worked like normal. Odd event to have happen, but letting all of you know is well and good, I think. :) Helps lessen the amount of bugs one will find while playing.

Glad it worked out! I was just about to upload 1.1.4 and saw your comment. Managed to sneak that fix in just in time

Actually do have something I think needs amending. I'm looking at Gible right now, and I'm pretty sure he can't learn Bullet Seed. I think some of Hoppip's attributes got through. I'll have to see if he knows the standard Rock TMs going forward (like Rock Tomb).

Oh, nice catch. I'll fix that up for next update as it isn't as gamebreaking as a bad egg. There's probably a few instances of incorrect movesets left, but I'll comb through them all one of these days.

Decided to pick this one up as a hopefully relaxing experience after torturing myself with all those advanced difficulty hacks. If you care about which version I picked up... I chose the Glaceon one.

Since this hack does not come with a detailed documentation, I kinda want a bit of a "sales pitch" for the fakemons added into this hack tbh. I'm mostly concerned with how they are going to fare in battle, so something about their stats, their notable moves and abilities could be nice.

Sure, I'll give you a brief introduction and spoiler tag the more in-depth information, like moves and abilities.

Hummling line: If the Pidgey line were more special-oriented and Fairy/Flying type.

Spoiler:

The final evolution has 479 BST, same as Pidgeot. Some notable moves include early game Draining Kiss, Roost, Air Slash, Brave Bird, Moonblast. Abilities include Serene Grace and Natural Cure.

Dolphry line: Sort of like a 2-stage Nidoran line where the gender determines what it evolves into.

Spoiler:

Males are found in salt water and are more physically oriented, females are found in fresh water and are more specially oriented. The final evolutions both have 500 BST. For reference, Nidoking/Nidoqueen have 495 BST.
Triphin (Male evolution) - Water/Steel with Swift Swim or Volt Absorb. Notable moves include Razor Shell, Iron Head, X-Scissor, Horn Leech, Waterfall.
Narwish (Female evolution) - Water/Fairy with Swift Swim or Marvel Scale. Notable moves include Ice Beam, Scald, Moonblast, Moonlight, with access to TMs like Psychic and Shadow Ball.

Tortot line: If Torkoal was part of a branched evolution family, sort of like Eevee.

Spoiler:

There are 7 Tortot evolutions, including Torkoal, each with a BST of 470.
Each evolution follows the same move learning structure as Torkoal, with variations depending on what type they are.
Tortundra (Ice) - High Def, decent special stats, low Spd. Has Clear Body or White Smoke.
Tortide (Water) - Balanced stats, the only evolution with decent spd. Has Swift Swim or Rain Dish.
Tortress (Steel) - Very high Def, decent Atk, low special stats and spd. Has Battle Armor or Rough Skin.
Tortremor (Ground) - High Atk & Def, low spd. Has Sand Veil or Inner Focus.
Tortalus (Rock) - High Def, decent Atk, low special stats and spd (not nearly as drastic as Tortress). Has Rock Head or Sand Stream.
Tortasty (Fairy) - High Def & Sp. Atk, decent Sp. Def, low spd. Has Serene Grace or Cute Charm.

As for the special fakemon with potential story spoilers:

Spoiler:

KABUTOPS - A Rock/Ghost version of the Kabutops skeleton found in the museum. It has the same stat spread as Kabutops (495 BST). Has Levitate or Shadow Tag.

AERODACTYL - A Rock/Ghost version of the Aerodactyl skeleton found in the museum. It has the same stat spread as Aerodactyl (515 BST). Has Levitate or Shadow Tag.

OMANYTE - Pretty much just a carbon copy of vanilla Omanyte, except it has its Gen 1 sprite.

OMASTAR - Pretty much just a carbon copy of vanilla Omastar, except it has its Gen 1 sprite.

Ghost- A catchable version of the Pokemon Tower Ghost in Lavender Town. It is pure Ghost type, and has base 100 in each stat (600 BST, same as Mew, Celebi, Jirachi). Has Levitate.

No hurry, it's fine as it is right now and I'll most likely finish it up and wait for a later release too :) there's quite a bit of detail and I dig it!

I beat the Fairy gym right before this update,will Dazzle Gleam be available somewhere else or do I have to edit my save?

Grab the Focus Punch TM from Silph Co Floor 5 before updating if you can. As long as you have TM01 in your inventory, you should have Dazzle Gleam in the updated save

Is Gallade possible to obtain? I have the Kirlia and I'm looking through my list of Evolutionary stones. If not, I'll use someone else, since the Fakemon bird's enough for my Fairy needs.

Disregard - Gallade IS obtainable (checked the documentation). I'll find the Dawn Stone somewhere :)

I'm really enjoying the game so far. Unfortunately, after getting through Machu Pichu, the rival is unresponsive, and Mr. Fuji is only saying "Bless your Pokemon loving soul." Walkthroughs I've looked up show I'm supposed to get a Pan Flute, but I'm not. Any thoughts? Thank you!

 

[blitz_2k]

Does this has post-game?

 

[LucksackGames]

I'm gonna give Opal a shot!

capturing tortress and tortalus in quasar cavern freezes the game. also for some reason I managed to catch 2 rayquazas in the quasar cavern, so there's probably an another bug there aswell

My brief review:
I enjoyed playing this game, its not too hard, and story is kinda good at some places, but lot of room fr improvement there. For some reason, this game is beautiful and colorful to look at, not sure the reason fr this, but it is brighter than other hacks out there. May be it has something to do with color pallette.
I have completed elite 4 and in post game now, got my ruby stone, and yet to get sapphire. There are a few bugs here and thr, nothing major. Some of the NPCs are actually talking about kanto places instead of manta, and some NPCs are unresponsive, etc.
This is an easy game, and we can probably complete it in 2 to 3 days. Thanks for the hack man. Cheers!
